OK. I did some searching and found a possible solution. Please try the following steps below.

To get into safe mode reboot the computer and after the Bios screen shows up start pressing F8 in 1 second intervals.

1. Login in safe mode with command prompt2. In command prompt Type - NET USER Administrator /active:yesThe key is to be able to login as administrator.http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vista/vista_administrator_activate.htm should give you more clarity. Dont worry if you get an error message, you might have to do some of the following steps.3. Try NET STOP ProfSvc - this should stop the User profile service and bring you back to the login page - and if you are lucky you will have an Administrator login there. It might not have a password if you did not set up a password when you configured the system.3. Control Alt Delete, start task manager, Applications, New Task, explorer - this should bring up the start menu etc4. Start - msconfig - Tools - Disable UAC - the key to get out of this access denied problem is to disable the User Account Control. Dont worry if you get an access denied message herehttp://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm this link explains different ways you can disable UAC. For me the manual editing of Registry worked5. So again msconfig, tools, Registry Editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. Locate the following value (DWORD): EnableLUA and give it a value of 0.6. Once UAC is disabled - right click C drive, Security, Advanced, Effective permission (I guess), Authenticated user and Allow all - you might have to play around this step because I do not recall the exact steps.
